Hi,

Hmm.. May be it was fixed already , I can't reproduce with current project.

Just wait 10.2 vresion, and don't change Apply option :)

Hi,

Can you attach screenshot what you see?

I was able to reproduce this problem. If I use the Visual Basic 6 MDI skin demo supplied with the program and uncheck the Apply Frame Skin check box it duplicates the problem.

Thank you.

Glad it resolved. :)

OK, I am not sure why, but I closed VB down to create the zip file. Now I have opened it back up and ran it and it no longer does it. I have no idea why it didn't work but does now.

Thank you for your help. Unless you find something, I will just make a new post if it happens again.

Yes, here it is.

Thank you for looking into this.

Hello,

Can you attach whole project to check.

I recently started using the skins in visual basic 6.0. I basically used the code from the example to try to use it. I am also using the commandbar control to create the menu and the toolbar.

I added the skin code after the creation of the menu and toolbar. However, when I load the form it starts up, then a second into it the border at the top disappears. I stepped thru the code and it looked like the commandbar resize is readjusting the file menu and toolbar to cover the top border, but I took out the code and it still did it.

below is my code. Should I do something different since I am using the command bar with the skin? It is hard to know what to do without a tutorial or manual.

Thank you for the help.
